Game Recap: Jackson loses...again

June 15, 2008

RAYS: 3

Marlins: 9

HIGH-LITES:

Hmmm...

Grant Balfour recorded 4 K's and allowed no hits thru 2 innings of work in relief of Jackson.

Bartlett, Hinske, and Gross, all recorded 2-out RBI's. Putting runs on the board with 2 outs is a crucial part of the game and will prove to be of vast importance should the Rays make a run at the Pennant.

We only had to watch Jackson pretend to be a major league pitcher for 5 innings.

LOW-LITES:

Edwin "Freaking" Jackson. The Dodgers should've left good enough alone and let Jackson be an outfielder instead of trying to make him a pitcher. He gave up 6 earned runs (two 3 run homers)on 5 hits in 5 innings while recording all of 1 K and walking 3.

Yet another E for Bartlett (that makes 8)... I'm just sayin'

Miller, Glover, and Hammel allowed 1 run each in relief of Jackson.
